Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

As he spoke to Heliang, he took out a frozen black pear from an ice basin.

He placed it in front of Meng Tian and asked, "General Meng, would you like to try it?"

Meng Tian blinked and asked.

"How many frozen pears do you have left?"

"His Majesty said that next time we go to the inn, we should bring a few over for you to try."

Xiang Heliang said, "Don't worry, there's more, plenty, just eat without worry."

As he said this, he pushed the frozen pear towards Meng Tian.

"Come on, try it."

"it is good."

Meng Tian was not polite either. He took the frozen pear and opened his mouth to take a bite, then asked another question.

"Um... Is this how you eat frozen pears? Just chew them?"

"Yes."

Xiang Heliang thought about it and realized that the teacher didn't say how to eat it.

Just told me how to do it.

So you should eat it by biting it directly, right?

Thinking of this, he nodded affirmatively, "Yes, just bite it and eat it!"

"Oh."

Meng Tian responded, opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Crack!"

"Sigh~"

"Ouch! Teeth! My teeth!"

Meng Tian covered his cheek with one hand and gasped in pain.

"Hiss, haha... this pear is too hard..."

He looked up at Xiang Heliang standing beside him and asked.

"Are your teeth really that good, sir?"

"Can you chew something so hard?"

this.........

Xiang Heliang was not sure either, "It should be possible... maybe... it's possible... right?"

Since the gentleman said he wanted to eat it, it should be something he could chew.

"Okay, then prepare a few of these frozen pears. His Majesty will send someone to get them before he goes to the inn next time."

As Meng Tian spoke, he stuffed the frozen pear in his hand back into Xiang Heliang's hand.

"Give it to you, I can't bite it or eat it."

Xiang Heliang didn't want it either, "Hey? You've already bitten it."

"There's your saliva on this, I don't want it, take it away! Take it away!"

As he spoke, he reached out to He Liang and pushed Meng Tian out.

"Take it back and eat it while walking. Take your time. Don't be in a hurry."

"Hey, hey, hey?"

Meng Tian was forced to push it out, "No, I really can't bite it."

And it didn't taste like anything.

He doesn't like it.

"Take it away even if you can't bite it!"

Xiang Heliang said, "Go, go, go, hurry up, I'm busy making desserts, I don't have time to deal with you."

"Hey!"

After pushing him out of the door, Xiang Heliang walked back with his hands behind his back.

Meng Tian shook his head, helplessly took the frozen pear and went to find Ying Zheng.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saluted Ying Zheng.

"His Majesty."

"Ah."

Ying Zheng raised his eyes from the bamboo slips and glanced at Meng Tian.

"How is it?"

Meng Tian said, "Your Majesty, the frozen pears in the kitchen are ready."

"When you want to leave the palace and go to the inn, you can always send someone to get it."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "That's good."

"Um... Your Majesty, have you ever eaten this frozen pear?"

Ok?

Ying Zheng shook his head, "No, what's wrong?"

Meng Tian said, "Well, this frozen pear is a bit hard and not easy to bite."

As he spoke, he showed Ying Zheng the frozen pear he had just bitten.

"Look, this whole pear is frozen hard and you can't even bite it. How can you eat it?"

"Are your teeth really that good, sir?"

I heard from Fusu that the gentleman is quite young.

Even someone with such good teeth can't bite it, so don't break his teeth.

Oh?

Frozen hard?

Ying Zheng had never eaten this frozen pear before, and this was the first time he had seen it.

He said to Xia Lin who was waiting on the side, "Go, bring it here for me to see."

"promise."

Xia Lin bowed his head and responded, then walked quickly towards Meng Tian.

Just as he was about to reach out to take the frozen pear from Meng Tian's hand, he saw Meng Tian's hand retract.

Ok?

Xia Lin was stunned, "General Meng..."

Meng Tian said, "I have bitten this pear, I will wipe it first."

He pulled at the hem of his clothes and carefully wiped the bitten part of the frozen pear.

Then he handed the pear to Xia Lin, "Here."

Xia Lin took the frozen pear with both hands. The moment he touched it, it was ice cold.

He shivered with cold.

She quickly walked back to Ying Zheng's side and held the frozen pear in front of Ying Zheng.

"His Majesty."

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at the frozen pear in front of him.

The skin is pitch black and has water droplets on it.

He reached out and took the frozen pear, squeezed it, and found it was indeed hard.

After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng said.

"Maybe there are other ways to eat this frozen pear."

"I'll ask you next time I go to the inn."

After saying that, he put the frozen pear in Xia Lin's hand and said, "Send it back to General Meng."

"promise."

When Meng Tian took the frozen pear again, he felt cold and padded it with his sleeve and held it through his sleeve.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first?"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Well, go ahead."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After paying his respects, Meng Tian turned around and left the hall, going back to continue making brushes.

...........

Zhao Gao is able to go out today.

At this moment, he was moving out of the room step by step.

He must recover quickly so that he can return to serve His Majesty.

Xia Lin has been serving Ying Zheng every day recently, and also went to the inn with him.

Zhao Gao was very clear about all this.

And there is a great sense of crisis!

He fears.

He was afraid that if he stayed in bed for a few more days, Xia Lin would take his place!

Just as Zhao Gao walked out of the room, a young eunuch came over quietly.

Little Dengzi walked quickly to Zhao Gao and held his arm.

"Hey, Master Zhao, why are you up?"

Zhao Gao frowned and looked at Xiao Dengzi, "How is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Xiao Dengzi said, "This...Eunuch Xia is very careful in his work. I haven't found any evidence against him yet."

"Please forgive me, Lord Zhao..."

Haven't found the handle yet?

Zhao Gao frowned, "Is it not possible to start with his palace servants?"

"No...no."

"This Xia Lin is really cunning!"

Zhao Gao gritted his teeth secretly, "I just don't believe he won't make mistakes!"

"Keep watching him! Keep a close eye on him!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhao."

Little Dengzi said, "Oh, yes, Lord Zhao, I heard it from the fire-burning official in the kitchen."

"Your Majesty will be at the inn in a few days."

what?

Going to the inn?

Zhao Gao quickly asked, "When?"

"This... the exact time is unclear."

Little Dengzi said, "It was said that His Majesty would bring some freshly made frozen pears from the kitchen."

"Before he leaves, His Majesty will order someone to come to the kitchen to get it."

"it is good."

Zhao Gao said, "Keep a close eye on the kitchen these days. If there is any movement, tell me immediately!"

"Yes, I understand, little one!"

Zhao Gao pulled out a purse from his sleeve and threw it to Xiao Dengzi.

"Here, thank you for your hard work these past few days."
